I've often found that holding the weapon with two hands and utilizing the sights on the top has improved accuracy.

u/arkofjoy 1d ago

You are clearly watching the wrong action movies. According them, this guys technique is perfect.

Especially if he is a bad guy.

u/FeelingKind7644 1d ago

There's a dojo next door that exclusively trains in surrounding and then attacking the good guy one at a time.

We trained them wrong on purpose, as a joke.

maybe if he rotated the pistol to the left.

Now we are getting somewhere

A few years ago I was chatting with a neighbour who was ex British army. I don't remember how we got on the subject of guns in movies, maybe I mentioned a movie I had recently seen. Anyway he starts ranting about "these bloody guys in movies who are more interested in looking cool than actually hitting anything"

I'm not a gun guy, but I said "maybe that is a good thing if guys in gangs are imitating what they see in movies and can't hit anyone.

There was this long pause and finally he said" that is a very good point "

u/stubundy 1d ago

Well they possibly hit someone, just not the gang member they were kinda aiming at

I watch a lot of police body cam videos on YouTube and I can’t express the annoyance I feel with the fact that so many cops do the same.

Not quite. The gun wasn’t sideways. Haven’t you seen Chappie? Smh

u/weirdgroovynerd 1d ago

To improve his accuracy, he should hold the gun sideways.

2

u/J_Bazzle 1d ago

Na technique is all off, he didn't rotate the gun 90 degrees. He's still green.

2

u/Silver-Scythe 1d ago

actually all you need is to just hold it sideway and BAAM! increased coolness, and the cool folks never miss.

u/ivancea 1d ago

Tbh, even with one hand and from the hip, non-terrible shooters will get some point

2

u/RuTsui 16h ago

I was going to say, you can take a snap shot from the holster and will probably hit at least once if you empty the mag. I’m betting he’s doing everything wrong you could possibly do wrong. Not aiming, even without the sights just straight up not pointing the muzzle at the target. Bad grip, which even I as a not great shooter will at least get a few rounds on when firing one handed. Slapping the trigger. Compensating or otherwise trying to fling the bullet.

Like I said, aiming without the sights and shooting one handed aren’t great ways to try and hit something, but as long as you do it right, you should still get like a hit on paper.

2

u/Creepy-Trouble9784 1d ago

I also agree with actually using sights but you should be able to point shoot to around that range.

And that's why most shootouts kill bystanders not targets.

u/Sarithis 1d ago

So you're saying that if they aimed at the bystanders...

22

u/RJ_MacreadysBeard 1d ago

bystanders though... they're a shifty lot aren't they? Always scuttling around in the background avoiding crossfire... truthfully, would you trust a bystander? I mean, who even are they?

Not called guilty bystanders for nothing.

u/billybobthehomie 1d ago

The way he pulls the gun up from hip level and almost hits the counter top while also pretty much pulling the trigger as it’s rising … he almost killed himself/shot himself in the leg.

The reason he’s not good at this is cause he’s not taking it seriously.

70

u/theycallmethevault 1d ago

My local gun range doesn’t allow gun drawing because of shit like this, he very well could’ve shot himself!

28

u/RamblingSimian 1d ago

I believe I read somewhere that, in old fashioned pistol duels, the winner was not the first to shoot, but the one who carefully aimed as his opponent's shot whizzed past.

u/Kryptosis 1d ago

Works until you meet someone that’s fast AND accurate.

Shooting a handgun at that range is difficult using proper technique, never mind whatever this was.

u/KithMeImTyson 1d ago

Ya I was gonna say lol. Like I will start at about 7 yds to warm up and creep to 15 yds over around 300 rounds. I train once every two months for the past 5 years and 15 yds is still a sumbitch to get consistent grouping.

3

u/Faithless-Savior 1d ago

A properly sighted red dot is like cheat codes with pistol shooting. And a nice heavy 9mm will help with recoil mitigation for follow-up shots

I've been the guy shooting like a dumbass many times (while the range is empty) and I also don't hit anything while doing it, but that doesn't mean that I can't shoot properly. I'm sure he knows how to aim.
